Question: Can I get a catalogue of your tents?
Answer: We don’t maintain catalog on papers. A complete catalogue with lots of photos, movies and information will be available soon on CD-Rom.

Question: Do you do custom work?
Answer: Yes! A large percentage of our orders are custom due to our wide range of printing. Please send us a sketch of what you have in mind with measurements and the type of tent you want. We’ll get back to you with a right quote.

Question: How soon will my tent and accessories ship?
Answer: It’s difficult because there are so many combinations of tents with different options in different types of printing work. At many times of the year it is quicker and sometimes can be longer. Spring and summer are our busiest times of the year. We do have quite a few of our products in stock, too. Always call if you need a rush order and we will try our best. If possible order in the autumn or winter to beat the rush. Please remember we are not a factory but craftsmen, dedicated to our trade, and enjoying our work. We maintain stock of all other items always in our stock and can be shipped within one week.

Question: Can I have colored top?
Answer: In short, yes, but we prefer to use natural white canvas for several reasons. Firstly colors rub off and can mark valance, drapes, tassels etc. Secondly the colors are not readily available with a fire retardant finish, so we have to order them specially. Finally the white canvas makes for a brighter, lighter and cooler tent in summer. We can also print designs on the canvas. Inner lining is available in many colors which is free from bleeding.

Question: How long will my tent last?
Answer: That all depends on the care and use of your tent. We cannot give a guarantee on the life of the canvas because it is a natural material and is affected by the local conditions and your care of the tent. With good care a frequently used canvas tent should give you 10 or more years of service. Badly cared for and your tent wont last a year. We strive for excellence but are only human!

Question: What type of canvas is used on Garg Tents?
Answer: Exterior is made from the finest materials with the 15 oz. marquee canvas being treated to ensure that is both waterproof, rot proof and also fire retardant as per British Standards (Flame-resistance in accordance with BS 7837: 1996, Water-resistance in accordance with BS 3408:1992, Rot-resistance in accordance with BS 2087:1992) and are specially manufactured to resist the sometimes-inclement like terrible weather. Outer canvas treated to meet California fire-marshall flame retardant specification CPAI-84- 6 & 7 also available. The decorative inner linings are made of finest cotton and can be hand block printed by our skilled and experienced staff in a range of designs and colors or made to your specific needs.

Question: Retardant fabric Vs. fire proof fabric:
Answer: We should all understand what is meant by the terms “fireproofing” and “fire retarding”. Cement, steel, bricks and even stone will distort, glassily, or decrepitated, when the temperatures are high enough. The object of flame resisting is to reduce the possibility of an incipient fire or flame from spreading and becoming a conflagration. Flame retardant dramatically slows this burning process Fires spread from the flames and heat from burning material, igniting other adjacent flammable materials. Normally when the ignition source is removed, the fabric will self-extinguish.
There is no such thing as fireproofing; everything will burn at a high enough temperature. This is quite true, technically speaking. All products on the market today which are intended to retard flame in fabrics, carpets, wood, etc., are intended to set up a thermal barrier to reduce the flame spread, to reduce the after burn and essentially allow some additional time for humans to escape from burning tents or buildings.

Question: Are your hand blocks printing on inner lining color fast?
Answer: Of course! All the colors are fast and never bleed. Even you can iron onto them.

Question: Can I ship my order to a different location than my billing address?
Answer: No problem. Just specify when ordering where you want the shipping and billing address to be.

Question: How do I clean my Garg Tent?
Answer: Dirt will break down your tent over time. The cleaner you keep your tent the longer it will last. Mildew grows on dirt, so it is important to clean it before putting it away. To clean our canvas we recommend mild hand dishwashing liquid like Ivory in lukewarm water. Lay the tent down and scrub with a rag or a soft brush. The harder you scrub the more you risk scrubbing off the waterproofing. Do not use bleach or any other chemicals. Any soap left on the canvas could cause the tent to leak. Dry it completely before you put it away.

Question: Do you supply the printed fabric in yardages?
Answer: Yes, give us a call or send email.

Question: Are your tents guaranteed?
Answer: Of course. We guarantee our products to be free from manufacturer defects. We will gladly replace any product found to be defective upon delivery and/or under normal use. Given the hand-crafted nature of the product, minor variations in design and manufacture are to be expected. While made to be sturdy and long-lasting, normal wear and tear is inevitable if used out of doors for extended periods of time.
